Very Cool: Cricket Trailer Showcases Space-Age Design

The Cricket Trailer, designed by NASA Architect Garrett Finney, is a mini mobile home inspired by the tight but efficient quarters of the NASA space station. Finney, who helped design the “habitation module” where the astronauts eat and sleep, took this knowledge and applied it to his cute little Cricket Trailer. Part VW Westfalia camper van and part trailer, the Cricket packs a lot of features into a tiny space and is super lightweight to allow for more efficient towing.
